The TL; DR version of HA is that it's a huge polymer (big molecule from repeated subunits) found in the skin that acts as a sponge helping the skin to retain water, making it plump and elastic. To prove their point, the German manufacturer conducted several in-vitro (made in test tubes) tests examining how the treatment with Lactococcus Ferment Lysate (LFL) affects important skin proteins. The special HA mesh has a remarkable water-binding capacity, 5 times more than the already crazy water-binding capacity of "normal" HA. It is perfect when, like me, you like to layer several products and it’s also ideal in this season when you don’t want to use super rich products, even in the evening. Lactobacilli lightens, moisturizes, eliminates redness, regulates the production of melanin in the skin, gently exfoliates and accelerates regeneration processes.

My detailed review of the Bifida Complex Ampoule from the Korean brand ma:nyo (ex Manyo Factory), and also, is it the dupe of the famous Estée Lauder Advanced Night Repair serum? This particular compound abbreviated EGCG is the most powerful antioxidant among those extracted from tea (usually green tea).The concentration of about 2% is effective for supporting the skin barrier and evening out the skin tone. Designed to battle signs of aging, this highly concentrated ampoule is enriched with 90% Bifidalaxcto Complex and ginseng-derived saponin to reinforce skin barriers, reverse signs of aging and optimize skin’s balance.

You can usually find it right in the very first spot of the ingredient list, meaning it’s the biggest thing out of all the stuff that makes up the product. It contains a number of enzymes, which bio-converts several malodorous substances, so most often you will spot this ingredient in natural, aluminum- free deodorants. Sodium Acetylated Hyaluronate is a variation of current IT moisturizer, Hyaluronic acid, where some water-loving -OH groups are replaced by amphipathic (partly water-loving and partly water-hating) acetyl groups.

In other words, it's a superb moisturizer that makes your skin nice and smooth, without being heavy or greasy. It’s true that, at the beginning, they were different products and ampoules were supposed to be used as a treatment, a few times a year. This ampoule/serum won’t be unknown if you dabble with the K-Beauty addicts’ circle (this circle is not closed at all, on the contrary, please join us!

I talk about it all the time, I’ve been experimenting with retinol products for several months now and my skin is more sensitive than usual. I don’t quite understand why in its latest reformulation, the brand added essential oils that here, have no other use than a fragrance for the product. HA is famous for its crazy water holding capacity as it can bind up to 1000 times its own weight in water. I would use it after these actives though (vitamin C and acids should go first in your skincare routine anyway 😉 ). So we will skip right to the part where we talk about what the hell it does in so-so many cosmetic products.acid and madecassic acid), asiaticoside has been shown to be helpful in wound-healing, restoring skin barrier function and supporting collagen production in skin. g. due to environmental influences such as air pollution or strong sunlight) the skin can no longer function properly, then feelings of dryness and tightness, irritation and impurities occur.

Btw, Xanthan gum is all natural, a chain of sugar molecules (polysaccharide) produced from individual sugar molecules ( glucose and sucrose) via fermentation. It maximizes the power of skin’s natural nighttime renewal with the brand’s exclusive ChronoluxCB™ Technology. kDa version: apart from moisturizing, this size might also help the skin to repair itself by increasing its self-defense. They did some tape stripping (exactly what it sounds, hurting the skin by stripping off the top layers) and examined skin renewal and barrier recovery.At the very least, they certainly help attract water to the skin and support the hydration in this way. I read online that you should not be using an ampoule for an everyday skincare routine and I was wondering if the same would apply to this manyo product. Once it is almost absorbed, I end up in pressures with my hands and continue with the rest of my routine.
